XFX

Just a note to anyone building a new pc and wondering what brand of GPU to get.

My sons 9800GTX died 12 days ago....it was 27 months old.....it was registered at the website......I got an RMA and sent the card back....after testing the card , they found it faulty and sent him a new 9800GTX+....so it cost $14 to send the card back, but he got a new and better card.

The new card has slightly better clocks on the gpu, memory and shaders.......a 12 day turn around and a new card .....they had great support and keep me updated on the process .

I will highly recommend them for Nvidia or ATI cards.....just register your card on the website when you get it.

Just another good reason to build your own pc.

Saddly Nvidia dropped them for making ATI cards.

If youre lucky you can get double lifetime warrentees on some cards too.

I usually always buy XFX but never actually register the cards. Being in Panama there's really no point. I typically sell the cards before I come back to the USA anyway. But yeah, I always hear great things about people's experiences with the RMA process through XFX.

I was not aware that Nvidia had dropped them....that is a bummer.

I've always had great support from XFX. Years ago I had (2) 7950GX2's (quad sli) and one of the cards started running hot. They had just released the 8800GTX and they were running short of 7950GX2's so they offered to replace both of my 7950GX2's with a pair of 8800GTX's. Needless to say I accepted

well atleast ati has a good partner now.

also had one xfx and bfg card die on me they both got replaced with 9800gtx's

They totally dropped them? I just thought they weren't letting the companies that make both cards make any of the new ones initially.

That could be, but that'd be the same as death to the company.

Hmm, google only has "rumors".....

My ati upgrade will be XFX no questions asked lol. Definitely a great company IMO. my 8800ultra was XFX, the double lifetime warranty was a great feature when i resold it for an upgrade. Wish I had of gone with XFX for this card so i could use it as another selling point lol, but i got a good deal so i can't complain.
